message recently posted on se23.com. closing the pub is now a done deal. so my rumours were not completely unfounded ....


Today 04:32 PM


I emailed Wetherspoons after the initial rumour was posted and got an answer (see below) a couple of weeks ago while I was on holiday . Afraid they are closing and nothing as yet on what will replace. Maybe time to start a campaign?

Dear Mr Crozier


Thank you for your web form dated 28th June and for contacting us regarding our pub in Forest Hill.


I can confirm a decision has been made to shut the Capitol pub in Forest Hill, I apologise for any disappointment caused.


Closing and selling a pub is a difficult decision and not one that is made without considerable thought and debate. We take into account current and potential future trading levels, facilities within the locality (other Wetherspoon pubs and others) and the ongoing rent and maintenance costs.


I am afraid I have no further information regarding who it will be sold to.


Thank you for contacting JD Wetherspoon.


Yours sincerely

I also oppose any planned nuclear facility on the site of the Capitol pub.

Catford is a more suitable site . James Barber should be informed.

Just to back Malcolm a bit, my dad told me the other day that he's heard the cinema rumour about the Capitol too, so whilst it is just rumour, Malcolm is not alone in hearing it.


Dad also said the Grove was going to be a wetherspoons, and that there was going to be massive development on the Sainsbury's side of London Road, opposite The Capitol.



No idea if any of that is true.

Planning permission stage for ED has passed so we should be getting a 3 cinema Picture House in Lordship lane. Just think , instead of driving to Peckham or Brixton we will be able to walk to the local cinema.! I just wish and hope they'll pay all their employees a decent living wage.

This from another thread a couple of days ago:


"Re: East Dulwich Picturehouse and Caf?

Todays Ritzy news;

A long-running pay dispute is set to be resolved after a breakthrough at peace talks. Bectu has said that it will recommend acceptance of a new offer by Picturehouse.

Staff are being offered an immediate pay rise from #7.35 an hour to #8, rising in stages to the London Living Wage of #8.80 in September 2015."


And here's to everyone in East Dulwich earning a decent living wage - but it's not going to happen any time soon.

If you really cared about what was going on you'd have known an agreement had already been reached

    • I would challenge that. Price is a function of supply and demand - that's what I learnt at school anyway. It doesn't matter what your costs are, if supply increases and demand remains constant, prices (rents) will fall. And vice versa
    • Strange isn’t it…..other European countries s actually come up with solutions to house homeless people, which are pod structure, use of office blocks, etc. homeless are provided with thermals, warm sleeping bag and tent or pop up tent plus tech friendly clothing which means they are warm in extreme conditions. Us in UK? Nothing but chuckinto house of multiple occupation, which is usually not warm and not all have mould, but some do.. live in one room even if you are a family with good only knows what other sort of people…  not referring to ethinicity here but more along the lines of mental health problems, drugs, alcoholics. Single and families all in one property. Or if you are one of the lucky ones, into a hotel you go…   Why don’t we as a nation claw back more money in the form of tax  or avoidance avoidance, off shore accounts or other ways that rich or investors do buck the system….
    • Hello! I’m considering buying the demise for the loft-space above my flat (facing the classic renovate or move scenario for an additional bedroom or 2). Has anyone had recent experience of buying the demise from Southwark? Interested to know how they’re handling the premium/valuation.  thanks!
